Founded in 1937, Mt. Waterman is renowned for its pristine powder (40+in. more annually than Mt. High and Big Bear) and diverse terrain. Offering a dedicated 'safe space' for beginners to learn the basics (Chair(s) 2/3), and more lift accessed backcountry terrain than any other resort in So Cal, Mt. Waterman has been a well-kept secret the last twenty years for good reason. This acquisition marks a new chapter in the mountain's rich history, with AMP committed to elevating the resort's offerings while preserving its natural beauty and intimate atmosphere.

Planned enhancements by the veterans on the AMP team include a modern snowmaking system, tubing hill with magic carpet, glamping village, curated dining experiences, and exclusive membership opportunities through the Waterman100 program—an extremely limited legacy membership offering private powder days, helipad access, preferred event access and a limited ownership position in the project. This inheritable 'country-club style' membership will include a shared equity pool, and liquidity options for members to sell their memberships at a potentially heightened market rate on exit.

"This is a special place, and most people my age (43) aren't aware this area of LA exists. It's a National Forest, and only an hour from the warming hut to sitting at the Dodger game. Go Blue!" said Joshua Shelton, Co-Founder of AMP. "We can't control the weather, but we can manage how many people gain access to the absolute best conditions our resort will have to offer, and that's an honor we reserve for the Waterman100."

The company plans a phased renovation and revitalization strategy, introducing modern amenities including a large special events venue, updated warming hut and club house buildings, jib/board park, mountain bike park, and other year-round adventure opportunities. The newly upgraded facilities will enhance the guest experience, offering a balance of comfort, adventure, and exclusivity.

Mt. Waterman continues to hold a special place for outdoor enthusiasts in Southern California. With 35+ years in the resort development industry, the experience and skills of the AMP team ensures that the resort will remain an iconic destination for LA, while evolving to meet the demands of a new generation of adventurer seekers.

About Mt. Waterman
